Tony Campagna

   

The Core Of Chaos
Acrylic, Chalk and Mixed Media 

Mental expression can trigger darker elements when inspiration taps the roots of primal humanity. With a smear of black and white paint, Tony Campagna colors the lines between life, death and suffering to touch the painful core of civilization and its penchant for destruction.

 Demonstrating the aggressive nature of society, Campagna’s artistic creations portray the build up of a systematic overload and the aftermath of the structural collapse. Campagna's paintings focus on the interconnection of sorrow and the anguish of human torment held within each individual.

"Often times my artwork bursts forth without planning - it’s just emotion and the moment. Other times, the pieces start in my head and then I refine it through a process of detailing."

Campagna is a Florida native who is a Licensed Make Up Artist from The Joe Blasco School of Make Up. After a lifetime of painting, Campagna sites the creative styles of H.R. Giger and The Wicked Screaming Squirts as artistic inspirations for his abstract designs. During the last few years, Campagna has been awarded Best Works On Paper at the Hortt 40 at the Museum of Art in Fort Lauderdale and won First Place for his Portfolio in the Broward County Fair Art Contest. Tony has also displayed his work locally at Galerie Macabre, City Link, Hometown Heros, Funktional Funk, The Holocaust Museum and on numerous public murals.
